Caleb's 2nd Birthday Party!!

Caleb turned 2 last week I can't believe it. We had a Birthday Party for him at our house. We had pizza and a cupcake bar where the kids could build and decorate their own cupcakes it was a lot of fun. I bought this huge beach ball that you can hook a hose up to and it sprays water everywhere and then I thought it would be fun to have some water balloons. BIG MISTAKE on my end. I bought this ball thing that you put a water balloon in and it has a timer on it so if you get caught with the ball it will pop on you kind of like hot potato I don't think we even got to use it because my brother Clint started a water fight he got almost everyone to gain up on me and I lost bad I don't have pictures of the water fight but it was a lot of fun and Caleb enjoyed himself.

No 2 Year old should have this many presents he got way spoiled


My friend Denise has this huge cupcake mold and she offered to make Caleb his own cupcake for his Birthday Cake he loved it. Thanks Denise and thanks to everyone for coming we hope you had as much fun as we did.

New York Party / Roosevelt Trip

Over the 4th of July the boy's and I went the the big city of Roosevelt Utah to hang out with family. Ben was on call that weekend and so we headed out of town. Sherie is having a baby at the end of the month and so there where a couple of sisters ( in my adopted family ) that all got together to surprise her with a little baby shower. We stayed with Sherie and Justin it was so much fun. Justin's grandparents have a farm that we took the kids to and Caleb loved it there where Peacocks and Tractors so he was in heaven.
This is Justin and Shonda and Caleb. Shonda was nice enough to take Caleb for a ride on the horse I was thinking getting on a horse 3 weeks after having a baby might not have been a good idea although it would have been entertaining to watch me get on the horse it was funny watching Shonda as well.

Justin's Grandpa made this swing ride with an old engine and made the seats out of old tires. I don't know how much Caleb liked the ride but it was fun.
PART TWO
Okay any of you who know my Mom know that she lives for parties for the grand kids and once again she had another successful party. My nephew Tade just went to New York to compete in a dance competition and his younger siblings didn't go on the the trip so my Mom thought it would be fun to bring New York to them and she did. My brother Jeff picked them up and was the Taxi driver he only spoke German to them and his name was G- Off he drove crazy and yelled at people just like you would experience in New York. We made many stops along the way some of them where, We met a homeless man ( aka Ben ) at the park we learned about the statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, We visited China Town, Central Park, Wall street, Radio City Music Hall and Broadway. We ate hotdogs and New York Cheese Cake on Coney Island which was my parents backyard. It was so much fun. I love that my Mom does these parties they are so fun for my kids and I love that they are making memories with my Mom.

Caleb, Reddick and Phin

My Boy's

Caleb loves being a big brother to Liam. I don't have very many pictures of them together because Caleb will ask to hold Liam and he kisses him and touches him for about 2 seconds and then says done so these pictures are priceless but rare.

I am thinking Liam is totally sucking on Caleb's nose

Not sure what Liam is doing in this but he is still cute

I can't believe he is already a month old

I couldn't think of anything better in life then being a Mom

NYCDA 2010 Nationals - Tade

So I have to brag a little about my nephew Tade. He just WON the NYCDA 2010 Nationals in New York City this last week. I think he is amazing. He was one of 4 kids to travel to New York from his dance studio and it way by invitation only. He has won competitions before but this was the first time that he competed against girls and won. I am so proud of Tade. Good Job Buddy.

I don't think I could do this move if I tried.

And for sure not this one.


Congratulations Tade
